Fashion Show Presented by WATSKIN

This year WATSKIN Sunwear presents “Live in the Light: A Celebration of Strength & Style” to benefit the American Cancer Society which will feature products from the Spring and Summer 2026 collections. Models will showcase garments ranging from bodysuits and catsuits, to complementary top and bottom sets made with WATSKIN’s signature UPF 50+ fabric for 98% UV protection.

The show’s title is inspired by WATSKIN’s own mission to empower women to “Live in the Light” and enjoy the sun safely, confidently, and beautifully. The brand was founded by actress Lois Robbins following her personal experience with skin cancer, which revealed how difficult it was to find clothing that provided true sun protection without sacrificing elegance or comfort. Determined to change that, she created WATSKIN to give women the freedom to embrace an active, outdoor lifestyle while feeling stylish, strong, and secure in their own skin. The brand offers a full range of luxury sunwear, from chic wetsuits and fashion-forward tennis sets to elegant activewear that seamlessly transitions from poolside to everyday life.
